Catalogue Essay
- The slim RM016 represents a departure from Richard Mille's typically engineered tonneau cases, showcasing a design that is as restrained as a Richard Mille can be. According to Mille, creating the RM016 was a challenging stylistic exercise, requiring the development of a rectangular shape while maintaining the brand’s signature design codes.
- Although it is a time-only model with a date function cleverly integrated into the numeral 7, the RM016 features the cutting-edge technology expected from the brand. The openworked bridges and baseplate are crafted from grade 5 titanium and include a variable geometry rotor. This winding rotor has two “wings” that can be adjusted to modify inertia, allowing the winding of the rotor to be tailored to the owner’s more or less active lifestyle.
- In overall very attractive condition, this RM016 in pink gold is preserved beautifully and presents an opportunity to acquire one of Mille’s more unusual stealth designs.
